Episode 5 - Lala Inky

The Pod Social

Welcome to Episode 5 of The Pod Social!

Episode 5 features tattoo artist, and self-proclaimed hermit crab, Lala Inky. Residing in the south of Wales, La has inflicted varying degrees of pain upon me over the last few years and I wouldn't have it any other way! For some examples of her incredible artwork, and to get a better insight into her personality too, head on over to her Instagram page.

Our conversation went into how she got into tattooing, mental health, online suicide, arsehole cats, therapy, sunsets, Taylor Swift - and more! This episode is really worth the listen: Lala is a lot more interesting than I am...

Mental health, or - more accurately - mental candidness, played a large part in our discussion, and this seems to be a running theme when it comes to talking about Social Media. The impact that social media has had on La, and tattooing in general is clearly a big one, and we go into detail about it's effects, it's positives and it's negatives.

We also speak about her blog, Confessions of an Auteetotal Tattooer, which covers mental health, addiction, sobriety, autism, relationships and so much more. I would highly recommend having a read, particularly if anything we spoke about in this episode has affected you. Click on the links at the bottom for the individual posts.

I would like to thank Lala for being part of The Pod Social, and hopefully we'll be able to get a follow up arranged too!

As always, please don't forget to follow The Pod Social on Instagram @podsocialpodcast and Twitter @thePodSocial, and if you can like or leave a review - wherever you get your podcast fix from - that will really help too.
